Ancient Egypt Themed Treasure Hunt Party Ideas
Ancient Egypt Themed Treasure Hunt Party Ideas #1: Provide an adventure for your participants…not just a treasure hunt. Come up with a storyline to drive your hunt. Was the treasure or idol they are looking for stolen by another archeologist? Or has it never been recovered with only the myth of its existence circulating the world? Have fun coming up with some side-plots to help drive your hunt.
Ancient Egypt Themed Treasure Hunt Party Ideas #2: Why not actually bury a treasure in a sandbox (elementary schools if on the weekend). JUST MAKE SURE THAT NOT A SINGLE KID SEES YOU DO IT!!! It will be far too irresistible for them to dig it up for themselves once you’ve gone. I am definitely speaking from experience on this one.

Ancient Egypt Themed Treasure Hunt Party Ideas #3: Provide a clue for the hunt in the invitations that you send out. The guests must bring the invitations with them to solve the adventure hunt. Different guests could have different clues on their invitations, inviting alliances to take place within the party in order to find the treasure or historical artifact. Ancient Egypt Themed Treasure Hunt Party Ideas #4: Providing some other symbol or information on the invitations are also great ways to divide the guests into teams. (i.e. “Everyone who is a professor of the Chicago University of Antiquities are one team…Everyone with a who is a member of the Pharaoh’s Royal Guard are another…” etc.) |
Ancient Egypt Themed Treasure Hunt Party Ideas #5: Get the story going before the party even starts. A few days before the party/event, email each guest a piece of information from a ‘character’ in your treasure hunt. You can obtain a free email account from Hotmail.com – you can sign up under any name you want and it’s simple – you can set it up in minutes!
Ancient Egypt Themed Treasure Hunt Party Ideas #6: Make it exciting! Perhaps they aren’t looking for lost treasure, but rather a lost person/explorer. If the person was kidnapped, let the participants find the ransom note to start the adventure off.
Ancient Egypt Themed Treasure Hunt Party Ideas #7: Give the illusion that an enemy ‘force’ of some sort is also on the same quest (whatever you’ve chosen it to be.) Perhaps another government or dirty art dealer is looking for the same idol as the participants in your treasure hunt adventure. Perhaps Lower Egypt is battling Upper Egypt…For an added touch, how about taking a picture of someone in costume and giving a warning to your guests in their invitations – “Beware of this man!” etc.
